The Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture (YCNCC) has appointed Toby Bryce as its new managing director. Formerly an independent advisor on policy, market development, and the responsible commercialization and deployment of carbon dioxide removal, Bryce came to Yale in June of this year. He will lead YCNCC’s administration, communications, development, external affairs, and strategic efforts.
The YCNCC, founded in 2021 with a gift from the FedEx Corporation, seeks to study natural processes (such as rock weathering and carbon uptake by the oceans) to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. It is a key part of Yale Planetary Solutions, a university-wide initiative that seeks to find novel solutions to environmental problems such as climate change and biodiversity loss.
